A monologue from a pop master with an introspective aesthetic
An ambitious 1993 album in which Phil Collins played all the instruments himself and explored his inner self deeply.
As the title "Both Sides" suggests, it depicts light and shadow, both public and private, with raw emotion. The cold beat of the drum machine and the emotional vocals create a unique sense of tension. This is an extremely important album in his career, as it casts aside the vanity of stardom and sublimates the loneliness and conflicts of a human being into music.
